Typing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Make the response more natural and concise, correct awkward phrasing, and add a brief specific example to support why you choose handwriting for personal messages. Keep to under five sentences and use linking words (e.g., however, because, for example).

例: I prefer typing for work because it helps me work faster and keeps documents organised. However, for family and friends I usually handwrite cards to make them more personal, for example writing a birthday card with a short, heartfelt message.

提案: Reduce repetition and fix grammatical errors. Be specific about frequency and benefits of each device. Use one clear linking word and finish the final sentence coherently. Avoid filler words.

例: I usually type on a desktop keyboard at work because my cubicle provides one and it feels more comfortable for long tasks. At home I use a laptop since it’s portable, so I can work from the living room or bedroom.

提案: Correct tense and provide a clearer timeline. Specify a precise age or phrase like “around age X,” and link the reason why many learned then. Keep it concise and natural.

例: I learned to type around the age of 12 or 13 when I was in primary school. At that time many of my classmates also had tablets and laptops, so we started using keyboards frequently for schoolwork and chatting online.

提案: Finish sentences and avoid vague phrasing. Give specific methods and frequency, and use linking words to organise ideas. Mention measurable goals (e.g., speed or accuracy) to show progress.

例: I improve my typing by practising every day and setting small goals, such as reaching 60 words per minute. I also play online typing games for 15 minutes daily to build speed and accuracy.

× It really depends on the situation.

✓ It really depends on the situation.

No correction needed; sentence correctly uses present simple to express a general truth.

× When I'm at work, I prefer typing because it's the way to boost my productivity and performance.

✓ When I'm at work, I prefer typing because it boosts my productivity and performance.

The phrase 'it's the way to boost' is awkward and mixes structures. Use present simple 'boosts' to state a habitual result. Suggestion: replace 'it's the way to boost' with 'it boosts' for clarity and correct tense agreement.

× On the other hand, when it comes to family or friends, I will write a letter or gift cards to them to show my experience.

✓ On the other hand, when it comes to family or friends, I will write letters or greeting cards to them to show my appreciation.

Multiple issues apply but per instructions only handle listed types: 'Verb + -ing form' applies to 'coming' and is fine; main problems are word choice and plurality. Corrected to plural 'letters' and 'greeting cards' and replaced 'experience' with 'appreciation' because 'experience' is incorrect in this context. Suggestion: use appropriate nouns ('greeting cards') and ensure singular/plural matches intended meaning.

× I type on a desktop keyboard most of the time when I'm when I'm at work because it's it is provided with the cubicle I work in.

✓ I type on a desktop keyboard most of the time when I'm at work because it is provided in the cubicle I work in.

Redundancy 'when I'm when I'm' and duplicated 'it's it is' are errors. Also preposition 'with' is incorrect here; use 'in the cubicle'. Suggestion: remove duplicated words and use correct preposition 'in'.

× However, when I'm home I will use a laptop keyboard because it allows me to move from living room to the bedroom and very.

✓ However, when I'm at home I use a laptop keyboard because it allows me to move from the living room to the bedroom and so on.

Tense and phrasing: 'will use' is acceptable but present simple 'use' is more natural for habitual actions. Missing prepositions 'at home', 'the living room'. The fragment 'and very' is incomplete; replace with 'and so on' or remove. Suggestion: use consistent present tense for habits and complete the phrase.

× I start to type on the keyboard when I was in primary school, probably at the age of 12 or 13.

✓ I started to type on the keyboard when I was in primary school, probably at the age of 12 or 13.

Mixing present 'start' with past 'was' is incorrect. Use past tense 'started' to match 'was'. Suggestion: use past simple for actions completed in the past.

× At the same time, most of my peers have had electronic devices like iPad or laptop, so it's natural for us to connect online.

✓ At that time, most of my peers had electronic devices like iPads or laptops, so it was natural for us to connect online.

Tense mismatch: 'have had' (present perfect) is inappropriate for a past time frame; use past simple 'had'. Also use plural nouns 'iPads' and 'laptops' and change 'it's' to 'it was' to match past context. Suggestion: maintain consistent past tense and correct plural forms.

× I would say practice makes perfect.

✓ I would say practice makes perfect.

No correction needed; sentence correctly uses conditional phrase 'I would say' and present simple proverb 'practice makes perfect'.

× To use it every day is the ultimate trick to improve my typing skills and in my daily routine I would also use online typing games to increase the speed and.

✓ Using it every day is the best way to improve my typing skills, and in my daily routine I also use online typing games to increase speed.

Infinitive 'To use' is less natural than gerund 'Using' when stating a method. The sentence is also fragmentary ('and' at end). Use 'the best way' instead of 'ultimate trick' for naturalness. Maintain consistent present tense for habitual actions and remove trailing incomplete phrase. Suggestion: rewrite with gerund and complete the sentence.
